Action Class
You can use ApexPages.Action to create an action method that you can use in a Visualforce custom controller or controller extension.
Namespace
ApexPages
Usage
For example, you could create a saveOver method on a controller extension that performs a custom save.
Instantiation
The following code snippet
illustrates how to instantiate a new ApexPages.Action object that uses the save action:
1ApexPages.Action saveAction = new ApexPages.Action('{!save}');Example
In the following example, when the user updates or creates a new Account and clicks the Save button, in addition to the account being updated or created, the system writes a message to the system debug log. This example extends the standard controller for Account.
The following is
the controller extension.
1public class pageCon{
2 public PageReference RedirectToStep2(){
3 // ...
4 // ...
5 return Page.Step2;
6 }
7}The following is the Visualforce markup for a page that uses the above controller extension.
1<apex:component>
2 <apex:attribute name="actionToInvoke" type="ApexPages.Action" ... />
3 ...
4 <apex:commandButton value="Perform Controller Action" action="{!actionToInvoke}"/>
5</apex:component>

7<apex:page controller="pageCon">
8 ...
9 <c:myComp actionToInvoke="{!RedirectToStep2}"/>
10</apex:page>
